    OTI's Mission and Goals

    + + The Open Technology Institute supports free expression and open technologies at home and around the world, and is committed to supporting engaged, self-sufficient communities by promoting safe and affordable access to connectivity.**1** We view technology not an end in and of itself, but a means. + +Across our work, we are guided by these principles: + +### Openness +Our source code, processes, materials and reports are open and available. We encourage participation by individuals and communities adapting, improving and using our tools. + +### Privacy +We support and defend the right to privacy and freedom from surveillance; our technologies are designed for safety and security; our research methods are respectful and sensitive to privacy concerns. + +### Justice +We believe in the equality of all individuals. We do not empowerthe communities we work with; they are already empowered, or they empower themselves. We support their work by providing trainings, tools, and resources. + +### Collective self-determination +Community partners decide how they want to engage and how they want to use our tools. We follow their lead. + +### Service +We show respect and give back to the communities we engage with locally and virtually. + +### Integrity +We are accountable to these principles in everything we do. + +
    +**(1)** As members of the Detroit Digital Justice Coalition, we believe that communication is a fundamental human right; we are securing that right for the digital age by promoting access, participation, common ownership, and healthy communities.
